Meteor... was "inspired" by a 1967 MIT report Project Icarus...
The voiceover at the end of the film mentions "Project Icarus,"...
Just caught the end of this on SyFy

It was also one Natalie Wood's final movies.
She died while on a break from filming...
SDI - used a lot... ...to explain a lot.
However - the far reaching implications of this “government approved” - taxpayer funded - technological “upgrade” of our strategic defense - is so much more far reaching than anyone - including members of our own government - could ever, ever, ever - imagine.
For many “public officials” - the “Star Wars” program - that spent billions upon billions upon billions of dollars - was simply killer satellites and new forms of radar to stop the “Great Bear” of Russia - the United Socialist States of Russia - from successfully launching a nuclear war on the united states. That threat - from this soldiers point of view - was very, very, real.
It was so much more than that...
The primary purpose was more funding.
More funding - not initial funding - but more funding...
What do I mean?
I mean that the “Star Wars” funding started nearly sixty plus years prior - long before man itself could even realize that they could in fact go into space - however - a certain discovery in the Grand Canyon - during the Roosevelt administration - changed everything.
The change was so drastic that the government started operating in the “Black”.
And... ...in the far north... ...in the "final frontier" state... ...setting the stage for the public NASA... ...to get Americans used to the idea of space travel... ...we succeeded far beyond what we figured would happen.

Maybe the number of truly conscious beings on earth has been slightly exaggerated.

This reminds me of the Norway Spiral, where everybody was just all "ho hum".
Maybe they're related somehow?
Why are people in general so weirdly silent and accpeting of these events? It's almost like everybody is hypnotized to ignore them.
Seriously, why is it scary?Nordic wrote:Wow. I heard almost nothing about this, except here on RI.
And this didn't just SCARE THE LIVING SHIT out of every conscious being on EARTH???
WTF?
If it was a meteor, where is the trail? I've seen some big-ass meteors, and they have trails, and big ones, glowing almost as brightly as the object itself!
So where's the trail with this one? Was this thing even in the atmosphere? If not, why was it glowing so brightly?
Again, WTF?
